THE NEW SUNDAY LAW.
lRh Moral Reform Orders From tn
District Com m issioners.
"six days shalt thou labor,
The seventh thou shalt rest,n
You sir, and your neighbor,
Because we think It best.
There shall be no more drinking,
Nor smoking OF cigars,
Nor sacrilegious winking
At the men behind the bars.
There shall be no more cooking,
Be II fry or stew or bake,
And those who cannot live on bread
Must struggle on with cake.
There shall be no more riding,
The street cars all shall stop;
For we are law.abiding,
And each Of US "cop."
There shall be no newspapers
Sold on Sunday more,
eealed must every window be,
And likewise every door.
Yeast must cease its working,
The brides shall not sing.
Hens must stop their laying,
For ills fearful siR.
The dogs shall cease their barking,
The horses shant say neigh.
For II these wicked things are done
There'll be the ID to pay.
And all those naughty people
Who on Sunday want to die,
Shall now defer their dying throes
TIL Monday morn is nigh.
We think 1t very wicked
To ever even Mink:
When e'er we come near doing II
We halt upon the brink.

MAY do for stupid boys excuse but
what can be said for the parent who
sees his child languishing daily and fails
TO recognize the want OF tonic and
blood-purifer? Formerly, a course of
bitters, or sulphur and molasses, was the
rule in woll-regulated families but now
all intelligent households keep Ayers
Sarsaparilln, which is at once pleasant
to the taste, and the most searching and
effective blood medicine ever discovered.
Nathan s. Cleveland, 27 T.. Canton st.,
Boston, writes: "My daughter, now 81
years old, was in perfect health until a
year ago when she began to complain OF
fatigue, headache, debility, dizziness,
indigestion, and loss OF appetite. l con-
cluded that all her complaints originated
in impure blood, and induced her to take
Ayers Sarsaparilla. This medicine soon
restored her blood-making organs TO
healthy action. and in due time retstab-
lished her former health. I find Ayers
Sarsaparilla most valuable remedy for
the lassitude and debility incident to
spring time" -

In an instant the memory Of what had

the cold cheek pressed itself closer
